Project description:In this study we performed MeRIP-Seq to study N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) and and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modification of mRNA. We investigated the effect of the microbiota on the transcriptome and epitranscriptomic modifications in murine liver and cecum. We compared m6A/m modification profiles in cecum of conventionally raised (CONV) and germ-free (GF) mice. We additionally included GF mice colonised with the flora of CONV mice for four weeks (ex-GF), for which show that they exhibit similar patterns of the most abundant genera of gut bacteria as CONV mice. We added mice treated with several antibiotics to deplete the gut flora (abx)and vancomycin treated mice in which the genera Akkermansia, Escherichia/Shigella and Lactobacillus were enriched. Furthermore, we included GF mice colonised with the commensal bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (Am), Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Escherichia coli Nissle (Ec) and analysed their m6A/m modification profiles. In addition, we analysed changes in m6A/m- modified liver RNA for CONV, GF, and Am, Lp and Ec mice.

Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolites influence host gene expression and physiological status through diverse mechanisms. Here we investigate how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact host's mRNA m6A epitranscriptome in various antibiotic-induced microbiota dysbiosis models. With multi-omics analysis, we find that the imbalance of gut microbiota can rewire host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic profiles in brain, liver and intestine. We further explore the underlying mechanisms regulating host mRNA m6A methylome by depleting the microbiota with ampicillin. Metabolomic profiling shows that cholic acids are the main down-regulated metabolites with Firmicutes as the most significantly reduced genus in ampicillin-treated mice comparing to untreated mice. Fecal microbiota transplantations in germ-free mice and metabolites supplementations in cells verify that cholic acids are associated with host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic rewiring. Collectively, this study employs an integrative multi-omics analysis to demonstrate the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via cholic acid metabolism.

Project description:The intestinal microbiota modulates host physiology and gene expression via mechanisms that are not fully understood. A recently discovered layer of gene expression regulation is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modifications of mRNA. To unveil if these epitranscriptomic marks are affected by the gut microbiota, we performed methylated RNA-immunoprecipitation and sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to examine m6A-modifications in transcripts of mice displaying either a conventional, or a modified, or no gut microbiota and discovered that the microbiota has a strong influence on m6A- modifications in the cecum, and also, albeit to a lesser extent, in the liver, affecting pathways related to metabolism, inflammatory and antimicrobial responses . We furthermore analysed expression levels of several known writer and eraser enzymes and found the methyltransferase Mettl16 to be downregulated in absence of a microbiota. As a consequence, one of its targets, the S-adenosyl methionine synthase Mat2a was less expressed in mice without gut flora. We furthermore show that distinct commensal bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila, Lactobacillus plantarum can affect specific m6A modifications. Together, we report here epitranscriptomic modifications as an additional level of interaction in the complex interplay between commensal bacteria and their host.

Project description:Background: The global emergence of monkeypox virus (MPXV) highlights the urgent need for a deeper understanding of host–pathogen interactions. Although transcriptional responses to MPXV infection have been characterized, the role of epitranscriptomic regulation particularly N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) modification remains largely unexplored. Methods: We performed an integrated analysis of time‑series transcriptomic and m6A methylome profiles using whole blood samples collected from MPXV‑infected rhesus macaques at 7, 14, and 21 days post‑infection, with distinct animals used at each time point. Host gene expression and m6A modification dynamics were examined over the course of infection. Differential expression and differential m6A modification analyses were conducted, followed by integrative pathway and immune cell signature profiling. Results: MPXV infection induced sustained host reprogramming, characterized by suppression of immune pathways and activation of metabolic processes. A global increase in m6A modifications was observed, accompanied by upregulation of the methyltransferase METTL3 and downregulation of demethylases (FTO, ALKBH5) and readers (YTHDF1-3). Knockdown of METTL3 or YTHDF2 reduced viral replication, suggesting a proviral role for this regulatory circuit. Integrative analysis identified 38 genes with coordinated changes in both transcription and m6A modification across all three time points. Focusing on literature-curated pathogenic pathways, we further identified 11 dual-regulated host factors. Notably, DNAJB1 was the only gene shared between these two independent selection strategies. m6A peaks near transcription start sites and within 5′UTR positively correlated with gene expression, whereas coding region modifications showed weak negative correlations. Immune lineage signatures showed gradual declines in T cell, NK, and monocyte/macrophage signatures with a progressive increase in B cell signatures. Cross‑dataset comparison confirmed core m6A regulatory trends despite heterogeneity across tissues and viral strains. Conclusions: This study reveals m6A epitranscriptomic remodeling as a key correlate of the host response to MPXV infection and nominates DNAJB1 alongside the other 10 dual‑regulated genes as candidate host factors for further mechanistic investigation.

Project description:N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins assume crucial roles in regulating the splicing, stability, and translation of mRNA. To our knowledge, no systematic investigations have been conducted about the crosstalk between m6A and other modified nucleosides in RNA. Herein, we modified our recently established liquid chromatography-parallel-reaction monitoring (LC-PRM) method by incorporating stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides as internal or surrogate standards for profiling epitranscriptomic RWE proteins. We were able to detect reproducibly a total of 114 RWE proteins in HEK293T cells with the genes encoding m6A eraser proteins (i.e., ALKBH5, FTO) and the catalytic subunit of the major m6A writer complex (i.e., METTL3) being individually ablated. Notably, eight proteins were altered by more than 1.5-fold in the opposite directions in HEK293T cells depleted of METTL3 and ALKBH5. Analysis of published m6A mapping results revealed the presence of m6A in the corresponding mRNAs of four of these proteins. Together, we integrated SIL peptides into our LC-PRM method for quantifying epitranscriptomic RWE proteins, and our work revealed potential crosstalks between m6A and other epitranscriptomic modifications. Our modified LC-PRM method with the use of SIL peptides should be applicable for high-throughput profiling of epitranscriptomic RWE proteins in other cell types and in tissues.

Project description:Impact of gut microbiota on m6A/m epitranscriptomic mRNA modification in different host tissues

Project description:A recently layer of gene expression regulation is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification. The role of gut microbiota in modulating host m6A epitranscriptomic and gene expression has not been studied. To decipher the role of gut microbiome, we profiled m6A mRNA modification epitranscriptomic mark in conventional mice compared to germ free mice. Transcriptome-wide mapping of host m6A mRNA modifications in four mice tissues allowed us to discover that gut microbiota can greatly impact host m6A mRNA modifications. The expression levels of m6A writers in mice tissues are regulated by gut microbiota. In conclusion, we report transcriptome-wide mapping of host m6A mRNA modifications regulated by gut microbiota. The present study can help better understand the role of the microbiome in host gene expression and host-microbiome interactions.
